Every summer, I get a lot of questions from friends who decide to visit my all-time favorite island in the Cyclades, Naxos. Being the largest island of Cyclades, Naxos offers different options and experiences based on your taste, budget and preferences. What would you do if you have just 4 days on the island? ...

If you’ve spent any time with us, you’ll know what Crete means to us. We’ve travelled everywhere on the island – from the White Mountains and coastline of Chania in the west, to the plateau and golden beaches of Lassithi in the east. We’ve found ourselves in a mitato (a traditional shepherd’s hut) in Rethymno ...

Every New Year begins with a promise. So for 2019, we’ve pledged to live the best of our beautiful islands in the Ionian Sea and find something different about each of them. There’s still loads of Sun & Sea… but not as you’ve imagined it.

I arrived at Rhodes in September – the season of summer here and what more can I say except that this time of year everything is at its peak. As I ride in the Taxi to my destination, I admire my surroundings like I am on an adventure such as tourists taking photos of the ...

I’ve been visiting Rhodes for 40 years now, and each time I feel that special tingle of anticipation that I’m about to make a new discovery. A spectacle? A shop? A new friend in a mountainous village? A new hotel… you know, the kind that enchants its guests and fills Instagram with dreamy photographs? A ...

A cascade of images comes to mind each time I ascend the hill to attend Sani Festival in Halkidiki, which colours my summer dreams. Here, everything is shaped and designed in line with the beauty of the location and its exquisite sounds, where the uniqueness of every detail is revealed. I feel that whatever I ...

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Tinos”? Surely the island, the sea, maybe oblations or Virgin Mary of Tinos? How about dove cotes, food, surf? If Tinos is famous about something, well that has to be the Virgin Mary of Tinos. Mainly a religious destination, probably due to the fact that ...

That’s it. Enough! All that writing about Greece was too much for us so we downed tools and headed off for a holiday of our own. It was late May, after all, the sun was already calibrated for summer, the sea was at its most alluring and – most important of all – we were ...

Autumn in Greece is incomparable; no doubt about that! The palette of colours begins to change with yellow, red and orange hues decorating the length and breadth of the country. The deciduous trees create this inspiring backdrop, upon which the first raindrops fall and where the first hint of a crisp north wind signal the ...

It is said that the journey begins the moment you start preparing for it. And that is a fact. You spread out the map across the dining table, then check out the Google versions; keep notes; calculate distances from A to B; make a note of towns and villages you intend to visit; collect ideas for ...

I am a Peloponnesian through and through, born and bred literally where the Ionian waves break upon the shore. She is a self-confessed “hillbilly”, raised in Northern Greece but long since ensnared in the south’s net of charm. The decision came out of the blue; from Thessaloniki, instead of going back to base, we would ...

Tinos, right from the start I insist that it was the Virgin Mary who saved Tinos! For decades, in the collective consciousness of generations of modern Greeks, the island has long been associated with religion. And let us thank God for that. The full-scale touristic pilgrimage to pay homage to the Blessed Virgin has been ...
